However, the altercation that Shah Rukh Khan had with the players on the same ground back in 2012 remains one of the memorable events in the history of the Indian Premier League. It seems that after many years, Iqbal Shaikh, who was an ex-ACP, has explained the situation in detail, claiming that things escalated due to misunderstandings. Find out what he had to say.
Iqbal Shaikh, who was the ACP of the area at the time, recently appeared in a podcast on Shubhojit Ghosh's YouTube channel. He explained, "It was mostly a misunderstanding that led to the situation between Shah Rukh Khan and Mumbai Cricket Association officials." I was the ACP of that area, so I was present there. When I reached the main gate, an MCA official told me, 'Shahrukh Khan created a ruckus.' By then, the match was over, most people had left, and some of the floodlights had been turned off.
Iqbal Shaikh said, "Shahrukh Khan was playing with children. A security guard objected and whistled, which angered him. An argument ensued, and an MCA official intervened. The situation was escalating, so I intervened and controlled the situation... I immediately asked Shahrukh to leave the stadium to prevent further escalation. I told him, 'Sir, please leave.' Otherwise, things could have escalated."
